I have the high end craftsman and it has worked
extreamlyn well. It's not the low-end model with
the bar indicator. I have the one with the torque
dail. It cost about 70 dollars.
: Hi guys,

: I've been looking to get a torque wrench (to tighten wheel lug bolts, oil filter canister, and oil drain plug).

: I've done some research and come to conclusion that the Sears Craftsman brand is of mediocre quality and should be avoided. I heard good comments about Snap-On brand, but I've never seen them before. I heard about this "Snap-On trucks" that you can get the tool from, but where do you find the truck?

: I also read praises about Facom tools and find The Ultimate Garage website. After reading about Facom, I'm almost convinced that Facom is the ultimate tool, and hence the ultimate price :-)

: I've heard about getting a high quality torque wrench as one of the most important investment for your tool set, so I think the cost is justifiable. But before I take the plunge, I'd like to hear your comment and advice.

: Also, is there any other place online that sells Facom tools? I know The Ultimate Garage and Griot's Garage.

: Thanks a lot.

: jim
